I went to downshift its a M6 and I noticed the oil pressure went from the normal 38 to 40 psi up to like 65 - 70 it never does that so I slow down watch the oil pressure push in the clutch and it goes down to 38 and then keeps dropping slowly so I killed the car and towed it home. No noises no clicking or anything when I shut it down. Now my question is I have a lift and tools I was a GM tech back in the 90s but does anyone know a decent garage in Maine to do the work if I dont have the time? Maybe even NH? Do you think I should pull the motor and take it to somewhere like Jannety to check it all over and put a cam in it while its there LOL I shut it off very quick I am pretty confident I didnt run it low for very long at all, what am I looking at here.

Good Morning and sorry for your trouble.
Jannetty Racing will appreciate your business.
We have done many oil pump replacements and yes we pull the engine every time, it is far cleaner and better results.
The timing covers and oil pan are glued on the engine with RTV which would be impossible to reseal with oil dripping out of the engine when working from underneath.
Certainly a good time to move in to a cam as well as there is a fair amount of Labor overlap vs the 2 jobs separate.
We just completed one last week and delivered last Sat.
Give us a call and we will go over what your goals and budget are for this project 203-753-7223
Thank you
Ted.
